Boyd Cru Wines is a Black family owned wine company that believes wine is a common language but speaks to each person differently. We believe in making wines that are locally grown with sustainable practices in Maryland. We also believe in making wines that build community and connection through pairing wines with moods and moments. We are disrupting the industry by bringing a nontraditional approach to a traditional industry. Our niche is focusing 90% of our wines around creating blends that are approachable, vibrant, joyful, and help our consumers discover what they like without being told what they should like. We also pair our wines with experiences that are community focused, socially aware, and culturally centric.
